Systematic position and classification of Cyanococcus section blueberry cultivars
Abstract
The most popular species of blueberries among the inhabitants of the North America – V. corymbosum and V. angustifolium were introduced into the culture in the United States at the beginning of the XXth century. Based on them, the scientist-botanist Frederick Coville derived a number of varieties-hybrids and created a new berry culture – highbush blueberry. Now more than 250 blueberry cultivars have been selected. They are classified by plant height, frost hardiness, duration of cold processing and functionality into commercial groups. Introductive testing and practical experience in cultivation of different bluerry cultivars in Belarus showed that for the climatic conditions of the republic there are three promising groups – the northern highbush, half-highbush and lowbush blueberry.
